Amid a weak global trend, gold futures fell Rs 72 to Rs 25,275 per 10 gm today as participants trimmed their positions.

Gold for delivery in December was trading lower by Rs 72 or 0.28 per cent at Rs 25,275 per 10 gm in a business turnover of 904 lots at the Multi Commodity Exchange.

On similar lines, the metal for delivery in far-month February shed Rs 68 or 0.27 per cent to Rs 25,475 per 10 gm in 19 lots.

Market analysts said the fall in gold futures was mostly in tune with a weak trend overseas and profit-booking by speculators.
